is. >> when it comes to johnny, the dude does it all. check out the video, sky diver, base jumper, mountain bike rider. recently he was attempting a base jump in alberta, canada, on a high-level bridge. suddenly we see johnny with a helmet cam walking up to the ledge. you see just how high up he really is. then, boom, he's off. chute comes out, apparently 311 feet in the air. he's plummeting down back to earth. here is the thing. this happened on saturday. on sunday, johnny was issued a ticket for $278 for trespassing. this extreme athlete is joining us "right this minute" with his down to film t-shirt. first off are you mad about this ticket and did you know you were going to get it in the first place? >> i'm not mad whatsoever. i went into this jump knowing
9:04 am
that, you know, it was illegal and it was going to be frowned upon. luckily i know the police officers in my hometown. they actually called me up on my cell. they are like, johnny, did you jump off the bridge yesterday. i said, yes. i invited them to my house and they came over and chatted there. >> that's awesome. they gave you a ticket and came over for tea. >> came over for tea and gave me my ticket. >> have you done this before? >> no. i had never jumped the bridge before. i knew it was probably going to be a one-time thing. i kind of touched on it in my press release as well. i know i'm a role model for kids and things like that, especially back home. the last thing i want to do is inspire criminal behavior. >> how did you feel that so many of your fans wanted to help with the cost of the ticket. >> i could not believe that. i found out that someone had started a group called johnny's
9:05 am
infraction. all these people wanted to pay the ticket. all that money is going to charity. i don't know which one but some youth charity. >> you said it was like a dream come true. how did it feel jump off the bridge. >> it's super unique. i've looked at it all my life. i was born and raised there. >> we're glad you're not locked up after this one. >> yeah, i appreciate that, man. scary situation on the russian railway system. not the roads this time. a train station near moscow. reports say a blind man fell off the platform and onto the tracks. luckily everybody reacted quickly enough and the conductor acted quickly enough to stop the train within inches of the man laying on the track. look at where the train is and look at where the man is on the tracks. he's clearly still clutching his cain. people aren't immediately jumping down. don't forget the electrofied
9:06 am
rail is down there. they have to conduct the rescue with caution. >> seems like we've seep a lot of video lately with people falling into tracks. you have to be careful around the platform because you can fall down there. we've seen it a few times. >> for him he has to rely on his cain to get where he's going. >> is he injured? >> beth, i don't know if he's injured or not. he does appear to be moving quickly. he may have gotten bruised or injured from the fall. >> i'm sure he's in shock. >> they could also be telling him to be careful, don't move, because of the third electrofied rail. here is the second video. you see the man get rescued by what appears to be an official. he stands up with the assistance of a man in the jacket. the guy grabs the cain and they walk him off. he seems to be okay. >> if he can't see, i wonder if he realized how close the train was to him. >> very close call. we have an update on this
